Harwood has announced who will replace Jon Hammond at the helm of the Harwood varsity girls soccer team. Hammond led the Highlanders to back-to-back finals appearances in 2009 and 2010, winning the program's first title in 2010. Hammond left the program recently to spend more time at a new job. Today, Harwood athletic director Sue Duprat announced the hiring of a new coach. Here's the release from HUHS:
"We are pleased to announce that we have hired a new Varsity Girls Soccer coach: Kurt Nielsen. Nielsen replaces Jon Hammond, HU’s long time coach, who resigned to devote his time to his new “Dream Job” as Director of the Hosmer Point Day Camp.
Kurt has a broad range of soccer coaching experience, including serving as an assistant Women’s Soccer coach at The United States Military Academy (West Point), the head boys soccer coach at John Jay HS in NY, and the New York State Empire Games’ Hudson Valley Women’s Open Soccer Team Head coach, as well as numerous club teams."
Sounds like an impressive find for a strong program!
